Answer:
the measure of the angle is 25°
Step-by-step explanation:
let the angle be x
two angles are said to be complementary if their sum is 90
so x + complement of x = 90
so complement of x = 90 - x
7 times the complement of x = 7 (90 - x ) ..equation 1
two angles are said to be supplementary if their sum is 180
so x + supplement of x = 180
so supplement of x = 180 - x
3 times the supplement of x = 3 ( 180 - x ) .. equation 2
but 7 times complement of x is 10 degree less than three times supplement of x
so from equations 1 and 2
7 (90 - x ) = 3 ( 180 - x ) - 10
=> 630 - 7x = 540 - 3x - 10
=> 630 - 540 + 10 = - 3x + 7x
=> 100 = 4x
=> x = 25
so the measure of the angle is 25°
